It’s the 7 year anniversary of the best law video ever made

Since appearing on YouTube on 2 March 2007, a Donoghue v Stevenson-inspired parody of The Police’s ‘Message in a Bottle’ has delighted tens of thousands. But, having been buried under reams of inferior videos over the last seven years, this is probably the first many law students will have heard of ‘Snail in a Bottle’. Enjoy.

Snail in a Bottle: lyrics

Just a ginger beer, made by good old Stevo

Another simple case, well, that’s what I believed, oh

But Donoghue brought a case to bear

Arguing he owed her a duty of care, oh!

He breached my neighbour principle

He breached my neighbour principle

He breached my neighbour principle

No one should ever get a

No one should ever get a

No one should ever get a

Snail in a bottle, yeah!

Snail in a bottle, yeah!

Ages have passed since I judged that case

It really defined my time on the bench

Sometimes I think that, for example

There’d be no case if the Plaintiff had been French!

Reasonably foreseeable

Reasonably foreseeable

No one should ever get a

No one should ever get a

No one should ever get a…

Negligence these days is the King of the Torts

Hundred billion cases clogging up the courts

Seems insurance now is way too dear

Hundred billion legal fees, thanks to ginger beer!

It’s not far-fetched or fanciful

It’s not far-fetched or fanciful

No one should ever get a

No one should ever get a

No one should ever get a

Snail in a bottle, yeah!

Snail in a bottle, yeah!

I founded modern negligence!

I founded modern negligence!

I founded modern negligence!

I founded modern negligence!
